CONCORD, N.H. — Federal prosecutors Thursday charged a medical technician with infecting at least 30 patients with hepatitis C, alleging that he fed his drug habit by injecting himself with medication intended for heart patients and then returned contaminated needles to hospital carts.
For the 13 months he worked at Exeter Hospital, authorities said, the technician was fully aware he carried the potentially lethal virus, spawning the biggest such health crisis in the nation since the 1990s. Authorities called him a “serial infector.”

The Death penalty is to good for this guy!
Hopefully we get to a point where we can start putting these druggies down like the rabid dogs they are. Unfortunately, I'm sure we'll soon see stories about how he was turning his life around...and soon he'll be hanging out at the methodone clinic on frontage road with an SNAP/EBT card or two clutched in his hand...
I cant't t even get an interview for a full-time job, yet this guy seems to have encountered no difficulty obtaining serial employment! This is the Peter Principle, writ large and deadly.
So, "Kwiatkowski showed "extreme indifference" to patients' health" – kind of like the parents who refuse to have their children immunized.
